The Meal That Heals

The Meal That Heals

RECEIVING THE COMMUNION MEAL The Lord’s Supper not only shows forth the Lord’s death until He comes, but helps to keep a believer in right relationship with God and his fellow man. This is done through the procedure of self-examination, prior to receiving the Supper. I have outlined four steps a believer should take when receiving the Communion meal: Look Inward Prior to receiving Communion, a believer should look inward into their heart and spirit. This inward examination is to ensure that we have no hidden or known sin in our lives. The Bible says, “But let a man examine himself” The word examine means to reach a result from an inquiry. Ask yourself if you have offended God in word or deed. Is there a bondage or a pet sin that you are struggling with? If the answer is yes, a believer should repent before receiving Communion. This action will help keep your spirit pure between you and God.
